Things just got real today! I booked our FP which means I don't have any planning left to do!! What am I going to do with all this extra time??

 

[cscrap423]

Going to DW for the first time 9/1-9/7! Staying in a family suite at ASM. We have reserves at Chef Mickeys, Ohanas, Hollywood & Vine, 50's prime time, 1900 park fare and liberty tavern. Celebrating my dd's 3rd birthday!!

For those who have made FP selections or know about FP, my question is: are FP only for afternoon hours? I know it's recommended to do them in the afternoon. However, I think some days or all days we may head back to pop after lunch for a quick siesta. I have 3 boys(8,5,2) and I would love to come back in the evening too. I thought I would schedule some for the 10 am window? I would love to get 7DMT, splash mt.
My day to reserve is Monday, I need to get up at midnight? Or can I wait and do them 8:30ish am after I take ds1/ds2 to school? TIA

They aren't all in the afternoon. I did some mornings and some late afternoon selections. I also didn't stay up until midnight. I made mine at 7:30 am, and there wasn't anything completely gone except for Anna & Elsa and Wishes. If those are super important to you, I would suggest staying up.

Keep in mind that with a 2 year old, you will get getting baby swap pass for the rides you mentioned. So you should be able to go back in the evening and use those, plus any additional FPs that you book.

Time to make some packing lists! I've taken the "Master Disney Packing List" and have tailored it to our needs. Who wants to rush around before a trip? Not me! Never to early to start packing.

Anyone get their MDE tags yet or the booklet with the plastic luggage tags? I booked when free dining came out and I feel like I usually get that booklet with the luggage tags and stuff by now.

Usually you receive them within 30 days of your trip.

They're usually sent with 30 days out. Your magic bands should arrive around that time as well. I know our last day to customize our bands is August 7th and we leave September 7th and if I remember correctly last year my band arrived the next day.

Yup, this is also what I did after I made our FP+ reservations, thinking that I needed to buy a bunch of stuff and I actually don't! Never hurts to start gathering things up though.

Fortunately I'm a packing pro. I can pack for a week's vacation in about 15 minutes. My DH on the other hand is not so much of a pro

 

[Caseystigger]

Just switched our trip from November to Sept 19th-26th. It really all came together, got 30% off at the Poly and tickets for MNSSHP!! Can't wait!

 

[tcorrero]

Does anyone know if they have the elsa dresses at DTD or on the parks anywhere?!? I have been searching everywhere online but refuse to pay those eBay prices!

I'm right there with you - everything is planned, but I still can't stop stalking these board and the Disney website. 43 days left to go and I don't know what to do with myself. I have also ordered t-shirts and bags for everyone in the family, so I really need to stop buying things, but I am so into Disney right now it's crazy. I'm looking foward to my 28 day mark so I can try for a BOG FP, but really that's about all there is left to do. I think I may seriously start an exhaustive packing list just to give me something to do!

I have to say though I have had a great time planning this year. We thought we were going to have to wait until 2015 for our next trip, so this one is very exciting.

 

[LoJoDisney]

I also am done planning everything and I wish I still was! I loved planning our trip!

Now that the planning is done I decided to start a pre-trip report!

I also am making some index card type papers to bring with us with our ADR, FP+ times, park hours etc. I think it will make it easier to have all of this is one place for each day!

45 Days to go!

 

[amyrella]
